Mouse Catcher



Richie has always been fascinated by the cat, but now that he's mobile they are beginning to regard each other as playmates. The cat will walk up to him and rub up against him just like he does to us (in hopes of getting food, no doubt). And Richie desperately wants the cat to play with him. If the cat is lying on the floor, Richie will start bringing all his toys over to him and placing them beside him, much to Banderas' amusement. But his favorite game is to pick up the cat's toy mouse (always by the tail, as if he knows what it is) and dangle it in front of him. The cat isn't quite as interested in this but sometimes gives in and takes a swat at the toy. Very cute.

Sweet! Our cats couldn't care LESS about this two-legged creature we brought home. Honestly, they gave more regard to the DOG! :o)
I think Mookie would absolutely collapse from excitement if one of the cats "played" with her. :o)

I don't know exactly what it is about that picture -- but I wondered if it was a baby picture of Paul -- the coloring looked like it was a scanned older picture.
